That would only be true if the RAF ran its flying training under civilian ATO requirements. Which presently it doesn't - most pilot qualifications are entirely competency-based, rather than requiring a set number of (largely rather valueless) flying hours watching the AFS driving a people tube from A-to-B and back again.....
However, with the increasing cancer of contractorisation and the ridiculous MFTS nonsense, the RAF seems to be getting the worst of all worlds on the false premise of cost saving...
If MFTS has to follow EASA diktat, then the future difficulties of finding qualified training staff will be enormous.
It'll end in tears - doomed we are, Capt Mainwaring!
